The trick? Reconfiguring ambulance staffing from two paramedics to one paramedic and one EMT per unit, saving $46,000 annually and freeing up firefighters to return to engine duty. While EMTs can’t deliver the same advanced care, officials say public safety won’t suffer. City council approved the plan last month, calling it a smart, fiscally responsible fix — and even setting up a path for EMTs to become firefighters as new roles open.
